Knitting

[Cloverjo]

My first grandchild is due next month, and I’d love to knit him a little cardigan. I used to knit a lot, but not for about 28 years now.

Please can you give me a suggestion of where to get a pair of needles and some yarn in one stop? I’ve got a pattern waiting. There used to be wool shops in every high street around here, but no longer. I’m driving myself a bit mad looking on various websites. Thank you

Try John Lewis.

We have a shop called Shaws in our local town. They do curtains, bedding etc, also wool & knitting needles.
There's a few stores around the country, but failing that, they are on line.

Naturally Amazon sells yarn singly and in packs as well as knitting needles.
You may have a Hobbycraft near you, too.

Our Poundland has wool - not sure about needles!

Since lockdowns I'm now buying much of my wool through Amazon. I've been quite happy with the choice but I always read reviews. One thing I did find recently is that Sirdar, or at least the last I bought, isn't quite as good as it once was.
As for needles. You may have a preference, Jo, but I dislike plastic needles.

I've got all needles and wool from Amazon. Still better with crochet than knitting....

Thanks for more answers.
I must look further for my wool and needles
Pixie, I’ve never got the hang of crocheting. I’ve tried so many times, but just can’t get it.
